Item Idea for our new Boon Totem mechanic.
Tarot Card Deck - Mystic Item
Use: Cleanse/Bless Totems to remove their curse and add any Boon Perks. Each tier will either increase charges, or the cleansing speed. Blessing timers aren’t improved without add-ons.
Add-ons: River/Cleansed/Holy Water, White/Red/Purple/Black Candle, Flint/Granite Arrowhead, Stone/Amber/Crystal Heart
River/Cleansed/Holy Water] This add-on speeds up totem blessing time by removing 2/6/8 seconds from the blessing timer.
White/Red/Purple/Black Candle] This add-on allows the Survivor to bless a totem without having a Boon Perk, but it will become a dull totem after 3/5/8/12 seconds, during which it will reveal the Killer’s aura to those standing inside the totem’s radius. It does stack with Boon Perks, so do as you please. If Boon Perks are active, then this effect will wear off after the timer, but the Boon Totem will stay until snuffed out by the Killer themselves.
Flint/Granite Arrowhead] After cleansing a totem, your scratch marks and pools of blood disappear 15/25% faster.
Stone/Amber/Crystal Heart] After cleansing a totem, your healing speed is increased by 10/15/25%. | Or - Corruption effect lasts 1/3/5 seconds less
Rarities: Uncommon, Rare, Very Rare, Ultra Rare
Uncommon] Tattered Tarot Deck - 16 charges, Moderately increases totem cleansing speed, Slightly increases boon totem range.
Very Rare] Mystic’s Tarot Deck - 24 charges, Considerably increases totem cleansing speed, Moderately increases boon totem range.
Ultra Rare] Cosmic Tarot Deck - 24 charges, Tremendously increases totem cleansing speed, Considerably increases boon totem range.
---------
New boon totem effect to specifically make it easier on Killers.
Corruption] After blessing a totem, the Entity takes command of the Survivor’s fate for a few moments. For the Survivor that blessed the totem, all generators, chests, and character specific items are protected by the Entity. This effect wears off after 10 seconds.

Nobody has any thoughts on this? Seriously? I mean, sure this would help with boon totem builds, but what about the Killers, eh? No Killers are gonna comment on this to justifiably say that this tips the scales too far in the Survivor's favor? None?

Cool idea, Killer mains would definitely hate this, considering the massive uproar the boon totems caused immediately after they were announced.
Maybe with this new item mechanic BHVR should add the killer version of Small Game or even better boon-finding/snuffing perks in future. Giving penalties to the survivor for blessing a totem also could work.
i.e.) showing the aura of the survivor for certain period of time after he blesses a totem, giving a negative status effect to a survivor after blessing a totem etc.

Yeah, I do think that with Boon Totems we ought to have some sort of negative effect, for instance some sort of effect called "Corruption" which reduces certain stats, or forces skill checks very often, or something that you'll have to wait out in order to keep going would help the Killers at least have a fighting chance. But then Survivors would complain about it, and then an add-on could reduce said effect to quell their complaints.

And here's that effect I was talking about.

Shwoop. Lemme just pull a necro-post real quick. I think this would still be cool to add.
